EX-husband Groveling to Me novel Chapter 194

"Hey, Suny, this is definitely a misunderstanding, let's just go and ask for clarification!"

Suny gave a smile: "Mr. Brooks, you have to be clear, Austin and I have been divorced for over a year."

"But ......"

"No buts."

When Suny finished speaking, she raised her hand and closed the lift door.

Elijah watched the smile on Suny's face fade away as the lift door slowly closed, always feeling that something might be wrong this time!

What was going on with Austin?

The first two days he was Suny so much that they purposely made himself pitiful, how come now he gave roses to Mandy?

Elijah even felt the rage!

The first time he called to Austin, Austin hung up on him!

Elijah called again, and this time Austin finally answered the phone.

"Come out and meet me in that smoking area next to the bathroom, I have something to ask you."

Austin frowned: "I'm meeting a guest."

"When you walked out of the lift with Mandy just now, Suny and I happened to be standing on the corner."

"What's Suny doing here?"

"Come out first!"

Elijah hung up the phone and walked straight to the smoking area to wait for Austin.

Austin soon arrived, dressed in a suit and manly: "Where's Suny?"

"Why didn't you ask when you sent flowers to Mandy?"

Austin coldly slanted a glance at Elijah: "I didn't send that flower, she asked Ivan to help her buy it."

Elijah, who intended to scold Austin, was suddenly embarrassed: "...... Oh, but Mandy's words sounded really misleading."

Austin naturally knew it, but there was not much of a crowd at the time, and although he was unhappy, he did not bother to say anything.

Elijah remembered the incident at the airport, "What happened to that hot search?"

Austin looked at him with cold eyes and said nothing.

Elijah only felt cold, and also knew in an instant that it was the media stirring up.

As he was just about to open his mouth, two female voices came from the front: "Suny is formidable, there's a Austin in the front, and then there's his ex-husband's friend in the back! I've been in the circle for so long, it's the first time I've seen someone who dares to talk to Mr. Brooks like that!"

"You are right! But Mr. Brooks is still bent on getting approach to her, her tactics are really good! It's just that Mr. Brooks believes it!"

"What can we do then? She is pretty!"

"Haha, I can't really compete with that! It's a good thing she's not in the entertainment industry, otherwise we'd really have to step aside!"

Soon, Elijah saw who the two people talking were; they were the two female roles from the cast of "A Love Poem".

Elijah only felt a chill down his spine as he looked towards Austin, "Austin, listen to my explanation, it's just the crew dinner, I told you! I was originally thinking of taking Suny for a drink after dinner and then calling you out so that we could set you up!"

The more Elijah said, the more unreliable he felt, he gritted his teeth, "These people don't keep their minds on the right path all day long! Don't stop me, I've got to go and kick their asses!"

With that, he glanced back at Austin.

Austin looked at him with cold eyes, without the slightest intention to stop him.

Elijah was not being sympathetic, he was really asking for a clear conscience, he was also being nice to Suny during the dinner because of Austin. He was afraid that Suny would be plied with wine, that was why he deliberately spoke to Suny.

He didn't have a penchant for stealing his friend's woman!

Of course, whether Austin believed this or not, it would only depend on the hardness of their thirty years of friendship.

Elijah really could not stand Austin's eyes, he was really angry, but he went back to the box.

He stormed into the box with a cold look on his face and the director and producer were happy that he had returned, but the next moment, they were not.

Elijah directly pointed out the two actresses who talked just now, "Who nominated these two to the group?"

The biggest investment in "A Love Poem" was Central, and it was impossible for Elijah not to know about the capitalist stuffing.

Those two people were not the ones they want to promote in Central, and actors who could say that kind of thing were not peaceful at first glance, and Elijah had been in this circle for so many years, how can he not see which ones were connected?

He was furious, but those present didn't know what he was angry about.

The director tried to round up the situation, "Mr. Brooks, Sofia and Esther are new to the industry and don't know how to speak, so if they have offended you, then I will apologize for them."

When Elijah heard this, he couldn't help but sneer: "They seem to have strong background, you're even protecting them! It's a pity, but I'm really a hard-headed person, I've never been afraid of anyone in J City! I don't care who nominated them, I'm investing in the show, either you listen to me or you all get the hell out! I'll re-cast tomorrow! In three days' time, if you fail to choose, I'll change the director!"

He said, after a pause, "Newcomers can't speak well? I think their mouths are pretty good. When they were rumouring that Miss Holland and I were having an illicit relationship, didn't they speak quite smoothly? She has a good temper, but that doesn't mean I have a good temper! If I hear anything bad about Suny and I from you, pack your things and get out immediately!"

Elijah vented and added before he left, "You should be glad that it was me who took action to clean you up today, if Austin had done it, it would have been more than just the loss of the play!"

When those two actresses heard this, their faces went white, and only now did they remember that they had just come out of the bathroom and seemed to see someone in the smoking area.

But they didn't care, they didn't expect it to be Austin and Elijah by coincidence!

Elijah felt that he had seen a ghost, not only did he misunderstand Austin, but he was almost helped to give Austin a cuckold's hat.

Thinking about the way Austin looked at himself just now, Elijah couldn't help but touch his neck.

Luckily, he reacted fast enough!

It was hard to tell if his brilliant mind will still be there if he was one step behind!

Austin also returned to his box with a cold face, Mandy saw him return, "Mr. Johnson, the food is getting cold."

Austin gave her a look, "Miss Holmes, since you don't want to sign with our company, then we won't force you."

After saying that, he picked up his own suit jacket that was hitched on the chair, leaving a dumbfounded Ivan to leave the box directly.

Mandy's face changed and she frowned at Ivan: "Ivan, what does Mr. Johnson mean by this?"

To be honest, Ivan didn't know either.

Mandy's international influence was big, and to have her as an endorser for a company owned by KLOC was a sure thing.

But Austin said he would flip out, Ivan was silent, naturally he was on the same front as Austin: "Just literally, we'll work together next time, Miss Holmes."

Having said that, Ivan nodded his head and also lifted his leg to leave the box.

After Ivan left, Mandy's face instantly sank, "What's wrong with them? Weren't they the ones who begged me for cooperation?"

Skyla, the manager at the side, gave her a look, "I told you a long time ago not to make those little moves, but you didn't believe me, and now endorsement of tens of millions had gone down the drain!"

Mandy's face stiffened, "If he was angry because of what happened in the airport, why would he come to have this meal with me today?"

Skyla shrugged, "Who knows?"
